I love doing Vocals..It's so much fun..See my sig for my youtube vids..I don't mute my mic, cuz I dont think theres any point in posting a video that ends up looking like demo mode or something. No offense to anyone else though, Its just my preference

Everyone should be happy with them, except those that demand a clicky strum bar (which I've never understood. When watching videos, it always makes me cringe when people have clicky strumbars...it sounds like someone is playing Hungry Hungry Hippos nearby).

With the exception of one person, everyone I've played with refuses to sing. Most of the time, they claim they can't sing or don't want to look stupid.

Apparently, playing with little plastic toy guitars and color-coded plastic drum sets is ok, but singing in public or at least the living room, isn't. Go figure. =op

I started singing when our band was in the middle of a long setlist and the singer left. I was badgered into handing off my bass and picking up the mic. I felt like an idiot and just mumbled and whispered my way through it.

Then I waited until everyone was gone and tried again. Like several people have mentioned, I was surprised at how fun it really was.

Now I sing loudly, try to mimic the artists (even ones I have no business mimicking like Metallica), and even dance on occasion. (Most notably to Ballroom Blitz, My Sharona, Flirtin' with Disaster, and the Ramones' songs.) People laugh, but it's fun.

I've actually noticed an improvement in my real-life singing from all the time I've spent on RB Vocals. I mean, I can't change the nasal God-given voice I was blessed/cursed with, but I think I'm a lot more pitch-aware than I used to be.

I've got some friends down here from hockey/school that are in a band, like grunge metal/emo/alternative...who knows ...anyway, one of them watched me sing some stuff and saw my vids and said it would be cool if I wanted to drop by and do a little singing, basically screamo stuff like "Attack". Screaming tends to hide a bad voice. They already have a guy who I don't really know all that well who's decent as their full-time singer, so it would be a for shits 'n' giggles type thing, but I would have never even thought to do that before RB.
